Uniquely thin texture and maturely sour and earthy cocoa flavor— a surprising and welcome addition to / deviation from the bog standard offering of low-fat chocolate milks.

Monument Farms Dairy Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Solidly fundamental in a way that makes you overlook its low-fat nature. Everything falls nicely into place and it doesn’t feel cheap like the gallon jug behemoths at the typical large supermarket.
Monument Farms Dairy Chocolate Milk
Fantastically well-balanced cream, cocoa, sweetness, and salt— a genuine pleasure to imbibe. Vibrant cocoa flavor upfront, with a malty kiss on the back end— not quite as risqué as it sounds— but it’s a solidly indulgent treat where every sip is as delicious as the last.
Battenkill Valley Creamery Chocolate Milk
Its warm, buttery base and malty undertone combine to deliver a flavor that peaks in the latter third of each sip, resulting in an experience that feels deliciously complex in its simplicity.
Stewart's Shops Super Rich Chocolate Milk
Powerfully chocolaty and sweet— a rewarding experience where the ‘melted ice cream’ descriptive cliche is both warranted and fulfilled. Your gut is sure to be fulfilled in solidarity.
Stewart's Shops Chocolate Dairy Shake
Unsettlingly girthy and sweet beyond what the law should allow. I peeled off the label and was expecting to see ‘Diabetes in a Jug’ underneath. It’s far too thick and sugary to attempt to discern other flavors and properties, frankly, if you’re past the age of 11, I can’t in good faith recommend.
King Brothers Dairy Chocolate Milk
Luxuriously smooth with a full-mouth cocoa payoff that lasts well beyond each draw. Its effortless base aces the viscosity-to-creaminess ratio and exudes indulgence upon every surface it touches.
Stoltzfus Family Dairy Creamline Chocolate Milk
Excellent cream factor grabs you up front and engages in cooperation (not competition) with the cocoa flavor to bring you a sophisticated, layered chocolate milk experience that so many fail to attain.
Hillcrest Dairy Chocolate Milk
Flavorfully dense, with layers of cream and chocolate, punctuated throughout by a salty snap that intensifies the experience and yet keeps the aftertaste concise and true. There’s a punch to the flavor and a depth to the cream that lights the path to indulgence.
Rowdy Cow Creamery Chocolate Milk
Phenomenal drinking experience, from first contact to lasting afterglow to panicked frenzy when you realize there’s no more left. It nails the viscosity-to-creaminess ratio and meanwhile delivers outstanding choco-malt flavor unabated to your soul.
Rowdy Cow Creamery Cookies & Cream Dream Milk
Brilliantly creamy base with a nontraditional cookies & cream flavor that is sweet upfront but exits with a mildly sooty footprint.
Ripley Family Farm Chocolate Milk
A creamy, confidently malty experience not to be overlooked. The base feels slightly less dense than its Hillcrest Dairy cousin, but the cream disperses magnificently and all in all a highly satisfying package.
Glenview Farms Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Nothing to see here— not in the clichéd cover-up way, but literally, there’s nothing worth your attention in regards to this product. The fact that it’s made available to institutions so they can ‘offer’ chocolate milk is great, but ultimately does the genre reputational damage for those who assume this to be standard.
Trinity Valley Dairy Creamline Chocolate Milk
Abundantly flavorful and an aftertaste that remains true, and yet leaves you wanting more. There’s a warmness to the cream that feels like a fleece sweater on a chilly morning— exactly what you need.
Cornell Dairy Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Impressively well-balanced, mature flavor with a clean, satisfying finish. Its 1% base seems maximally leveraged to provide a surprisingly (and inspiringly) indulgent payoff. Definitely one of the best low-fat chocolate milks I’ve had in a long time.
Acme Fresh Market Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Commendable ratio of cocoa flavor-to-sweetness, which goes down smoothly save for a slight drying of the mouth. It manages to stand out by being pleasantly understated— paradoxical as that might sound— reminding us that everything is possible through chocolate milk.
Superior Dairy Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Somewhat dull cocoa flavor supported by a competent saltiness, and delivered through a fairly dense, not-quite-milky medium.
Hershey's Plus Protein Chocolate Milk
Beefy feel, and a nigh-stinging sweetness that ultimately dominates the cocoa, veering the Hershey’s-licensed flavor into its rightly ‘candified’ domain. It feels fortified, and carries a chalkiness that strays from its milky roots. Ultimately, you could do a lot worse from a taste perspective in the ‘fortified’ market— but when compared with elite chocolate milk, the flavor gap is much more pronounced than the protein gap.
Nice! Organic Chocolate Milk
Unique, in that the salt hits you before the sweet, and the cocoa flavor follows shortly thereafter (albeit briefly). It finishes cleanly, and may leave you searching for a deeper, more lasting chocolate experience. You could also convince yourself of a slightly ‘soapy’ aftertaste— though it’s still a positive experience throughout.
Cloverleaf Creamery Chocolate Milk
Exudes a confident simplicity that many of us long to attain— it’s extraordinarily well-balanced, prominently chocolaty, and an absolute dream to imbibe.
